Juris Jurjevics, Red Flags

Vietnam veteran and author Juris Jurjevics discusses his novel Red Flags, both espionage thriller and an authentic look at the Vietnam War through the eyes of military intelligence. It's a rare work that manages to engage and address both the maneuvers of the enemy and the duplicity of allies. The tale told in Red Flags reads like a blueprint of our subsequent involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Best known for his cold war thriller The Trudeau Vector, Jurjevics was formerly the distinguished editor in chief of the Dial Press, and the founding editor of the Soho Press.
